Vision

"For every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong." --- H.L. Mencken

Following Mencken’s dictum, we of the ManyTracks will not attempt to give our audience certain answers or a clear-cut message. We are fascinated by the questions and riddles that rattle our world. Our theatre will strive to tell stories about people in situations to which there is no one way to respond to and our characters themselves may be men or women to whom no easy allegiance is possible.

We want to see them on stage, because we are intrigued, and we hope to find an audience to join us in the ride. If at the end of the evening one response is CONFUSION, we believe this to be closer to the truth than some clear MESSAGE. Confusion opens a door in the mind, of imagination, of thought. We like confusion, it’s a departure, a beginning of something new.

Many Tracks – ManyTracks
Railroad tracks lead from one known place to another, possibly unknown one. They may intersect with other tracks, coming from somewhere else, going somewhere different. The name, ManyTracks, taps into this complex metaphor in the sense that we attempt to lay down tracks to new places, one project at a time. By the same token we strive to connect with other minds, kindred spirits, on their journey, hoping we share some goals, and possibly cooperate and/or collaborate.
